Holistic Help Offers New Service to Identify Hidden Food Sensitivities

Yucca Valley, CA ( PressReleaseCollection ) April 13, 2009 – Cynthia Perkins, M.Ed., sole proprietor of <a href="http://www.holistichelp.net">Holistic Help</a> and holistic health counselor, tells us, "that approximately 80% of the population has undiagnosed food sensitivities that can result in a variety of the common health conditions we see in society today. By identifying these sensitivities and making simple changes in the diet, often drastic improvements in health can be made."<br /><br />Food sensitivity is different from traditional food allergies, in that it isn't IgE mediated and therefore is not identified with traditional food allergy testing. When food sensitivity is present, it results in inflammation. This inflammation can be exhibited in a variety of symptoms. Everything from acne to unprovoked violence can be the result of unidentified food sensitivities, however some the most common symptoms include, arthritis, depression, insomnia, autism, adhd, gluten intolerance, irritable bowel, anxiety, fatigue and weight gain. <br /><br />ALCAT has been a trusted leader in the natural health industry for more than 20 years and the ALCAT test is performed in an FDA inspected lab. In addition to your test results you get a thorough education of what your results mean as well as a personalized meal plan to get you on the road to improvement right away. You can learn more about it by visiting: <a href="http://www.holistichelp.net/alcat-test">http://www.holistichelp.net/alcat-test</a><br /><br />Although you may find the ALCAT test is provided by a variety of alternative health care providers, the cost is often a road block for many people. To make this invaluable testing accessible to more of the population, Holistic Help offers the test at a deeply discounted and affordable price. <br /><br />If you have questions about the ALCAT test or holistic health in general, Cynthia makes herself available at no cost on her blog, Holistic Health Talk.<a href="http://www.holistichelp.net/blog">http://www.holistichelp.net/blog</a><br /><br />Contact:<br /><br />Cynthia Perkins<br />Alternatives-for-Alcoholism<br />P.O.
